Values Quotes – Tom Robbins on Boldness
Today’s quote is from Tom Robbins, an author and writer of short stories with strong social and philosophical undercurrents.
Robbins stated:
“To achieve the impossible, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.”
Robbins has been called “the most dangerous writer in the world.” Why? He’s a man who has lived on the edge, peered over and written from a different vantage point. He embraced the value of boldness.
As a differentiating value, Boldness means standing out strongly and distinctly; willingly taking risks.
If you have a passion to achieve the impossible – a dream – maybe it’s time you embrace the value of boldness.
Consider those who were willing to stand out and think the unthinkable, like President Kennedy suggesting we put a man on the moon, Dr. Martin Luther King dreaming of racial equality, or Nelson Mandela visualizing the end of apartheid. They were all willing to take risks.
Yes, you may have to be willing to sacrifice your life. That too is part of boldness.
It’s also part of achieving the impossible.
Do you have a dream that would benefit from the value of boldness?
Today’s value was selected from the “Confidence-Courage” category, based on the e-book Developing Your Differentiating Value.
